Seems pretty similar to Jami except that it lacks the iOS and desktop clients that Jami already has.
Don't use Jami. It is a security nightmare and unreliable.
Could you link me some resources for that? I may need something to demonstrate that to others.
My personal experience
Also they haven't had a security audit
Lack of audit is not great I agree. I can see from a basic web search that security is an issue but I'm not sure 'nightmare' is warranted. The lack of audit seems to be main focus of concern and I'd say thats a judgement call for each person depending on threat model. I was hoping for something more conclusive than that. Its certainly adequate for a more privacy-centric way of communicating than an app that doesn't cater for Apple users at all.
I'm never going to recommend something that I can't get to work reliability. Also the lack of a security audit is a major deal breaker.
Communications is one of those things that needs to be absolutely solid.
